The Social Media Survival Guide

Ya'll....WHAT?! I can't believe I'm typing the episode description of the last episode of The Social Media Survival Guide Podcast. These 31 episodes hold so much space in my heart, so they'll always be here, but I can't wait to take this new adventure with you! If you're listening to this episode, it means my new podcast with my friend Veronika has officially launched! I hope more than anything you come along on this journey with us! Here's a sneak peek: Welcome to the Socially Unfiltered Podcast where we'll be taking you along for our deep dives & doom scrolls through social media, entrepreneurship, & pop culture. We're your hosts, Lex and Veronika and together we're looking at everything through an unfiltered lens on the things that shape our lives and society. So grab a drink and get ready to explore the uncharted territories of online trends, share candid conversations, and uncover the stories behind the headlines. This is the Socially Unfiltered Podcast. We're still getting into social media, but with a lot of new focuses. Our only personality trait isn't that we're social media managers, so it was time for our podcasts to evolve with us

Today's episode is an absolute TREAT with Bri from @sociallyybri. She is an amazing content creator, social media manager, & business owner who I think we can all learn a lesson or two from. I'm obsessed with her vibe, her messaging, & if you take 2 seconds to scroll through her profile, I think you'd agree! Be sure to check out her Instagram highlight where she has a Notion template for you! I'll talk to you next week!

My biggest ick in the social media management space, are those who spread the misconception that you need to be posting 3 times a day, or more. I would argue that the actions you're taking outside of posting content are actually more important for most social media goals. So, let's talk about a bunch of things you can do instead of stressing out about posting multiple times a day! Also, I need to talk about Jasper the Doll & let's catch up on some Instagram updates!

Today we're talking with Business Coach Becky about staying real to avoid staying overwhelmed.

But stay in school kids!!!
